CAT Telecom will today open
the Asia-America Gateway.
BANGKOK: -- CAT Telecom will today open the Asia-America Gateway it has jointly built up with other 18 leading telecom parties. The gateway is a high-bandwidth fibre-optic submarine cable system that connects Southeast Asia to the United States.
Internet users throughout Asia should start to see a dramatic increase in internet speed for websites located outside of the region when the $US550 million Asia-America Gateway (AAG) comes into operation today.
The new 20,000km (about 12,400 miles) AAG - an optical fibre cable network stretching from Malaysia to the West Coast of America via Guam and Hawaii - is now open, according to CAT Telecom.
The cable has additional landing points in Hong Kong and the Philippines, with branches to Singapore, Thailand, Brunei and Vietnam.
The cable became a reality in June 2006, when AiTi of Brunei Darussalam, CAT Telecom (Thailand), PLDT (Philippines), REACH (Hong Kong), StarHub (Singapore), Telekom Malaysia (Malaysia) and VNPT (Vietnam) all signed a Memorandum Of Understanding (MOU) for its construction.
In addition to being one of the longest undersea cable rollouts in history, the AAG will actually shorten the route for data from Asia to America, avoiding some of the wolds’ areas most prone to seismic activity in the process.
The demand for better quality communications services throughout Asia has been an ongoing battle between foreign and local businesses and regional communications carriers, and one that has affected economic growth in some countries.
The AAG uses the latest Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) technologies with a minimum design capacity of 1.28 terabit/s and a design capacity of 1.92 terabit/s.
The last of the undersea cable work was completed in June and all 10 landing points were completed months ago.
The new cable will improve e-commerce traffic and help meet the increasing demand for faster and more reliable internet, video and other multimedia services and applications.

Vi er mange naive mennesker herude. Jeg troede også på denne historie da jeg læste den på Thai visa. Hehehe det eneste der blevet hurtiger er mit lokale kontor, som jo bestemt ikke regnede med at jeg ville ringe i dag. Dagen i dag skulle jo være den store dag hehehe, Jeg bruger stadig flere timer på at sende en mail med 3 til 4 mb attachment, samt alt det andet. Indtil nu har jeg brugt 11 min for uploade dette her
Der endnu intet ændret, for nu skal er kablet måake blevet hurtigere, men hvis man ikke har baglandet i orden, ja så hjælper det jo ikke en dyt.
Jeg så lige på TV en skole, som nu have købt så mange computere ind, at alle elever i EDB klasserne nu kunne have deres egen. Vi taler her om 100 stk. 10 kunne bruges, de andre måtte slukkes, for mere end 10 overbelastede nettet hehe. Thailand er et U-land med hensyn til EDB.
